Frequently asked questions
How do I set Stepo: Step Counter Pedometer as my launcher?
On most Android phones: open Settings > Apps > Default apps > Home app and pick the app. On Samsung Galaxy phones the path is Settings > Apps > Choose default apps > Home app. Menu names can vary a little by manufacturer and Android version. The app also walks you through this the first time you open it.
How do I go back to my previous home screen?
Open the app menu and tap Disable (or use Change Default Launcher in the Help section), then choose your previous home app, for example One UI Home on Samsung or Pixel Launcher on Pixel phones. You can also go to Settings > Apps > Default apps > Home app at any time. Nothing is deleted: your apps, photos and settings stay exactly where they were.
Will I lose my apps or data?
No. A launcher only changes your home screen and app drawer. All of your apps, accounts, photos and settings stay the same, and you can switch back whenever you want.
What permissions does the app use?
- Physical activity: lets the app read your phone's step counter sensor.
- Notifications: shows your current step count and keeps counting reliable in the background.
- Home app role: lets the app act as your launcher. You can switch back at any time.
You can review or revoke permissions at any time in Settings > Apps > Stepo > Permissions.
